Admission Notice
Post-Graduate Programme
3yr-MSc.Tech (Applied Geophysics)
Admission notice for 3yr-MSc.Tech (Applied geophysics) Programme in the Department of Applied Geology, Dibrugarh University, Assam (India) for the academic session 2021-2022.
Total number of seats: 20 + 2 (EWS)
Date of Entrance Test: 27th September, 2021(Monday)
Time: 11.00 am 1.00 pm
Venue: Department of Applied Geology, Dibrugarh University,
Dibrugarh, Assam (India)-786004
Important Dates:
As per the main Notification given above.
Selection Test:
Eligibility:
Candidates having BSc. (Physics major) or, BSc. (Geology major with Physics & Mathematics) degree or,
BTech. (Petroleum Engineering or Petroleum Geosciences or equivalent Earth Science related streams)
degree from any UGC recognized University securing at least 60% marks in aggregate (or, OGPA 7.0 in the
scale of 10.0 points). Candidates are supposed to appear for a written Entrance Examination Test [Subjects:
Physics (Graduation pass course level): 50%; General awareness, Reasoning, Technical English, General
mathematical aptitude, Imaginative power :50%;Question Type: Objective; Time: 2 hrs.] Based on the
Entrance Examination Test performance, a merit list of the selected candidates will be displayed on the
Dibrugarh University website and candidates after payment of the prescribed fee shall be admitted for the
Programme.
Note: Relaxation and Reservation: As per the Rule.
Course fee:
thRs. 30,000/- per semester (for 1 - 5 ) and Rs. 15,000/ (for the semester)
Approximate expenditure for the programme: Rs. 1, 90,000 (Tuition fees + Semester examination fees +
Miscellaneous for six semesters)
Objectives:
The basic objective behind offering Applied Geophysics as an MSc. Tech Programme principally to the students
having major in Physics and Geology (with Mathematics and Physics) at the graduation level is three-fold. First,
and exploit principal natural resources like oil, water and minerals in a sustainable manner and increasing thereby
the practical importance of higher education in nation building. Secondly, introduction of more down-to-earth
steps so that the academia-industry symbiosis becomes more meaningful as well as useful. Developing the
software-based learning skill has been given additional weightage. Making the students confident enough not only
to face interviews rather to face different challenges of life while playing leadership roles is the third objective.

Special Features:
1. Industry as well as research oriented balanced syllabus.
2. Faculties having industrial as well as long years of academic background.
3. Earth system science approach.
4. Continuous interactions with the resource persons from the premiere oil industries like the OIL and the
ONGC.
5. Serious project work.
6. Better training for availing job prospect.
7. Purposeful research orientation.
Job prospect:
passing out of this department in premiere industries like OIL, ONGC, GSI, Shell, Schlumberger, Halliburton,
Reliance, NHPC and many other reputed concerns is quite impressive. Moreover, students are motivated to
enhance their competitive edge and grow research oriented minds to keep their learning curve up in a sustainable
manner. As a result, a number of students have joined PhD programmes in institutions like IIT Bombay, IIT
Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee and of course in state Universities like the Cotton, Guwahati and Dibrugarh.
Programme structure:
In conformity with the stated objectives, the first year of the Programme is devoted to introduce the philosophy
of scientific exploration in general and exploration geophysics in particular. Earth System Science approach with
emphasis on climate change has been included which is supposed to act as a broader perspective. To develop
introduced. The second year is principally devoted to core issues like Seismology and Seismic methods of data
acquisition & processing. Besides these, there is in-depth coverage of Gravity and Magnetic Methods. Electrical
methods along with Electromagnetic methods are given sufficient weightage. Elective papers include
component which is planned as per convenience. The third year is devoted principally to more specialized issues
of exploration applications like seismic data interpretation, well logging and Reservoir Geophysics. Options are
modelling in environmental science
duration having strictly monitored periodic submission of progress reports related to exploration under the joint
supervision of the Department of Applied Geology, Dibrugarh University and reputed organizations (OIL,
ONGCL, CSIR- NEIST etc.) will be conducted in the final sixth semester to promote research aptitude of the
candidates. See
